The Department of Marketing has a well-developed internship program. It provides students with the opportunity to earn college credit while performing marketing-related activities for local non-profit and for-profit businesses. Students who participate in internships not only gain valuable work experience but also make professional contacts that may lead to employment after graduation.
Internships offer students opportunities to enhance their academic learning with hands-on experiences in the field of marketing. For employers, an internship program can improve productivity and enhance your organization’s perspective while mentoring aspiring professionals in marketing. The department of marketing offers two courses. MKTG 293 and MKTG 493, through which students can earn college credit for qualifying marketing internship positions.
